The Mary Lee Greason Award is bestowed upon a past or current Arizona REALTORS® Professional Standards Committee member who exhibits a passion for professional standards through exceptional service, commitment, preparation, and leadership. Specific factors to be considered include length of service, roles in leadership positions, diversity of roles within the Professional Standards Committee, and contributions made. Past recipients include Larry Hibler, Marge Lindsay, Holly Eslinger, Duane Fouts, and Ron Roberts.

This year’s recipient was Lisa Suarez. Since joining the Professional Standards Committee, she has served as a Panel member at 8 hearings, chaired 51 ethics and arbitration hearings, and served as an Ombudsman 41 times.

Lisa has been instrumental to the success of the Arizona REALTORS® Professional Standards program. She is a constant example of what it means to be a REALTOR® and shows an unwavering passion for professional standards and upholding the Code of Ethics.

Marge Lindsay, a past Mary Lee Greason Award recipient, expressed that Lisa is “passionate about her desire to hold REALTORS® above licensees and is proud to say we accomplish that through our Code of Ethics. She’s quiet, but never silent. When we need her, she is there and willing to speak proudly about why we are REALTORS® and what the benefit is to the public as well as our peers.”

Needless to say, Lisa is a worthy recipient of the Mary Lee Greason Award.

Congratulations Lisa and thank you for your many years of service to the Arizona REALTORS® Professional Standards program.
